The Legend of Nanshan Jun

Sitting in front of the dowry, looking at myself in the mirror, I still feel a little hesitant and helpless.

My father had been standing in front of the door for a long time, but he rarely smiled when he looked at me, "My son is careful in doing things. Although he is not cruel enough, he will not make mistakes. Don't worry about my father."

I respectfully want to salute my father. I don’t know when I will see you again today. No matter what feelings I have for him in my heart, I am always grateful for the person who raised me and the parents who took care of me.

My father took a few steps forward to help me up, and he was also slightly moved.

Apart from my temper because I wanted to enter the palace, I have always been respectful and courteous to my father for many years. Although I am not as close as my brothers, I have never caused any trouble or trouble in the end.Although my father often spoke coldly to me, he never beat me or abandoned me.

I hurt only my mother.

"Ling Xi, farewell is imminent. As a father, I can only give you eight words: be cautious in your words and deeds, and make decisions with your heart."

I nodded, knowing that this was my father's kind words of parting, so I replied in a low voice, "Ling Xi will remember it."

"If you don't have the heart to compete for favor, you might as well keep a low profile and bide your time."

This idea coincided with what I thought in my heart. I looked at him, and the deep meaning in my eyes was self-evident.

Knowing son Moruo father.

Just before parting, I came to my mother's bed and fed her the last medicine.My mother was thin, but her face was still beautiful. When she saw me coming in, she closed her eyes and suppressed her sadness, "Xi'er, are you ready?"

I nodded, "There are not many things, everything is ready."

After a long time without words, seeing that the medicine was finished, the mother finally couldn't hold back the tears, "Xi'er, let's go and say goodbye, I don't know when we will see you again, you have to be careful in the palace, don't make any mistakes."

I nodded, "Don't worry, mother."

Leaving Xie's mansion and sitting in the sedan chair of the draft.I slightly opened the car curtain, only to see the red and white city wall and the blue and white sky above.

It seems that I have already entered Miyagi.

It's not a spacious road, but there are several sedan chairs like mine. You can tell that they are all draft picks just by hearing the yelling from the servants in front.Men are different from women. Although we need to enter Miyagi at the same time, they are not at the same gate.

After a while, after turning a corner, I heard the young man in front say to me, "Young Master, we have already arrived at Jianfu Gate, and after this, we will arrive at the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace."

I nodded and looked up again, and sure enough, I saw that the road was much wider. After my eyes darkened, my vision suddenly widened. I could only see a magnificent palace sitting on a three-story platform from a distance, with the east and west sides like giant birds. Like the wings of the sky, what flies is the tall tower ①.Majestic and solemn, it was originally a place for major celebrations and court meetings, but now it is a test for those of us who are drafted.

Of course, we can only check on its side.

After getting off the sedan chair, I saw many people waiting for the draft.On the other side are some women, who are far away and can't see clearly, only see the colorful clothes flowing in the wind, the number of them is much more than our men.

I sighed in my heart, so many women and men came here just for one person, but how many of them can really get his favor?

The intrigue and turmoil will all start from this moment.
